Three very bad decisions in a six-month period seems to indicate a pattern of indifference. If he had wanted to prove he wasn’t a bad person he would have learned from the first incident but since he was charged with two serious crimes after that shows how little he cares about being a good person. Somehow I get the feeling this is the coach putting words in his mouth. I’ll be surprised if he’s not in trouble again.

Given the climate of the NFL starting to shy away from chuckleheads like this whose favorite off-field activity is running afoul of the law, his stock has probably dropped considerably. However, he’s still just a sophomore and if he can manage to stay out of handcuffs he may be able to rehabilitate his image. If not he can kiss away all the money he thought he was going to make (see Chris Rainey).
